SPECIFICATION forming part'of Letters Patent No. 651,034, dated June 5, 1900.

Application filed May 31, 1899. Serial N0- 718,862. (No model.) i

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN B. GILLAsPIE, residing at Mount Pisgah, in the county of Clermont and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ha'rrows, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is a combination harrow and runners with adjustable handles.

The object of my improvement is to provide a convenient and handy contrivance on harrows for moving them about when required and avoid handles and teeth from beingin contact with the ground when the harrow is inverted. I attain this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side View of my improvement in its several parts together. Fig. 2 is aperspective view of a harrow, showing the combination and my invention and how applied. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the entire implement inverted and on its own runners ready for moving about, with the handles and V teeth out of the Way of contact with" the ground.

Similar letters show similar parts in the dif- I ferent views, as follows: In Fig. 1, A is a socket-eye; B, an adj ustable rod; 0, an eyebolt; D,a tail-nut; E, an adjustable handle; F, a runner; G, an eyeclip and eyebolt, and I a thimble-bolt.

Fig. 2 shows an ordin ary A-harrow, to which is attached my improvement, which consists of two adjustable handles E E, two adjustable rods B B, eyebolts C O to adjustable rods B B, socket-eyes A A to eyebolts C C, tail-nuts D D for holding eyebolts O O to adjustable rods B B, and eye-clips and eyebolts G G for holding adjustable handles E E to frame.

To operate the device when desiring to change from a working harrow to a movable harrow, loosen the tail-nuts D D and lower the handles E E to rest on the harrow-frame. Then tighten the tail-nuts and invert the harrow, which will change the implement from No. 2 to No. 3.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- In a harrow, the combination of a frame and teeth", handles each having one end pivoted to the upper side of said frame, runners F, F, secured upon the upper side of said frame, adjustable supporting-rods B, B, having their upper ends pivotally connected with the handles, clamping devices acting upon said rods whereby said handles may be secured in a higher or lower position, the lower ends of said rods passing through said clamping devices, substantially as described.
